    installed these on new years eve... they were only $30 so iDecided to try um out n' see if they'd stiffen up the rear. they did, but they also raised the back of my truck up:brickknock:

    need to cuz a couple coils off or somethin'....

    sorry man, that's the only pic iHave:(

    from what iRemember, the guy told me it was an 86:confused:
    he coulda been BSing me but oh well...

    the engine was a stock 22r and the carb got swapped out for a weber 32/36 after he blew the motor doing doughnuts:doah:
    it had a 4speed trans n' stock rear end.
    no ac or power steering

    it had a 3/3 drop, torsioned front n' 3" blocks in the rear
    15x8 american racing centerline reps(iDon't remember the tire sizes but the backs were wider)

    chrome grill, chrome one piece front bumper n' 4wd valance
    89-95 chrome rear bumper
    clear tail light lenses

    the inside was pretty much stock except for the stereo. he even kept the stock steering wheel
    it had a tan tacoma bench seat

    the body was alright... IMO it was a bondo bucket... especially the bed(good from far but far from good kinda thing)

    the guy kinda wrecked the truck. a lil while after changing the motor he attempted to body work it. the guy traded the rims for stock 14" steelies and the whole truck ended up spray can gray primer:doah: he crashed it not too long after that n' got rid of it. whoever got it after him sprayed it back white n' it had a flat black hood that was held down by bungie chords... iDon't even know if this truck is still around anymore. it went from a pretty nice truck to a beat up POS... sad story

    in that pic the truck was in its prime. it was never the same afterward.
